Kinda wild that only two of the eight goals were really scoring chances: 2 were non-intentional deflections and 4 (!) were from outside the chance area. Eric Nystrom had quite the game, accounting for 5 chances, 4 goals and a +5 chance rating.

Reto Berra was garbage in this game, full stop. Luckily for the Flames, Annti Raanta was even worse than Berra. Backlund and Stempniak were easily the biggest reasons the Flames won.

The Sharks were just missing for the first period, really. The Flames scored early and went into the shell - and then the Sharks took over for a while. The Flames clawed back nicely, though, towards the end.

Very fun game to watch - against all damn odds. The Wild tried their hardest to grab the game and the Flames (until OT) tried their hardest to give it away. Reto wasn't good, but a 5:12 chance ratio is stupid.

Conclusion

Mickis is the best.

Justin is a 23-year-old Flames fan who also happens to be pursuing a double major at the University of Calgary. He has played hockey at high levels, enjoys wearing shorts and tends to drink far too much Grasshopper. Please don't hate him.
